What is for us may come to us, from us, or through us. All you need is willingness. The rest is just semantics. You're willingness to put pen to page and share with others is beautiful Lyssa. Thank you for sharing your writing, your poetry, your thoughts, and your considerations, no matter where it ultimately comes from.
It took me a very long time to claim being an artist - a photographer, sure - but an artist?
(Now, yes, unequivocally yes!)
I believe that inspiration is all around us-looking for someone to bring it to life (see Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Big Magic”).
So, your lovely, heartfelt, inspirational poem, you were open to receiving it, so even if it is “divinely inspired” - it still came through the filter that is you.
As you feel it, give words to it, craft it, it is yours. Once you send it out into the world, we share joint custody. But still, I see it as yours, like if Mom said to the kids, "Go put all your stuff away," I would put the poem in your room.
Love this - you are definitely a poet! I understand what you are asking. There are times when I read something I wrote while in a flow state and don’t remember writing it. At those moments, I share your curiosity about where those moments of creativity come from, if not from my conscious mind, the one that thinks, rethinks, and often edits. Thank you for writing this and sharing your work ❤️
Thanks, Anastasia. I have such a habit of writing down other people's beautiful, inspiring words, that it often takes a moment to remember whether I wrote something that I find in a notebook 🤭 I'm learning to accept the gifts of flow. They come when I make space for them, and in that moment, they are mine. As Charlee said: until I share them; then they're yours.
The sign of a writer/poet is they stimulate the reader leading them down a path that’s right for them. As I sit on a window seat (which I’ve managed to avoid until today)on my way to see my new grandchild in Denver, your words about Now- are helping me to live right now in this seat that has, in the past, brought on panic. I look out at the blue sky of Now and feel gratitude right Now.
I’m not panicking but thinking about your words of Flow- flowing- and I’m in flow with Now! Thank you Lyssa- keep writing you poet/ writer🌞🩵
Yes, that was flow. Yes that is poetry, stunningly beautiful, transcendent, inspiring, gave me chills when I heard it and again just now reading it. Yes, that makes you a poet(in my humble opinion, but how you see yourself matters more). Yes, you're an artist. Yes, it's your poem till you share it. Then it's everyone's! But you penned it, so you're the write... Of course, it's yours! . What good writing have I ever created? None! Only what has been gifted me in flow has been worth reading. It's an honor to live and breathe and experience being a conduit for nuggets of beauty, truth, and love! Aren't we lucky!?! Love you, my brilliant, amazing, gifted, poet, artist, author, channeling friend!

...to us, from us, or through us. I love this, Dana!! Thank you 💕
Lyssa, you are definitely a poet! Even if it is channeling, you were aware enough to pick it up. It is exquisite. I love it!
Thank you so much, Nikki. I'm so glad it spoke to you, and I appreciate you saying this.

Oh! I don't know who you are, but I feel you in my heart. How very kind of you to allow me into your moment of peace. What a gift.
Wow, Lyssa. Everything Charlee wrote. Both of your writings are so pure. Beautiful. Inspired. Co-created.
🙏😘 Ann, I appreciate you chiming in!! I'm so fortunate to have this support.
